Space Struggle After becoming a concubine, I just want to farm

Chapter 267 Prosperity
Concubine Wen and Ruyi began to prepare for setting up a factory. They did not hide it, and soon everyone in the palace knew about it.The Queen Mother was particularly supportive and gave special permission for Concubine Wen and the nuns in Concubine Xi's palace to go out of the palace to do business.

Ruyi felt that from the construction of the factory building, to the opening of textile machine molds, to the recruitment of people to start work, no step was smooth.Moreover, even though Concubine Wen was a straight-forward person in the past, she did not expect that she was not ambiguous at all when doing things, and she did what she was responsible for very well.

Kunning Palace.

"Little dear, come to grandma." The queen was coaxing the little girl from the second princess's family. The little girl came waddling over, not to mention how cute she was.

"Mother, please stop teasing her. Nanny, take the princess to sleep for a while."

The second princess Zhi'er asked the wet nurse to take her daughter down to rest. Since she gave birth to such a baby a few years ago, there has been no movement. Fortunately, Li Xu never said anything and he loved his daughter to the core.Emperor Qinglong was probably afraid that the Li family would mistreat his granddaughter, so he made her a princess.

"Take care of it carefully." The queen worriedly ordered the wet nurse who went down.

"Mother, I have heard outside the palace that the textile factory run by Concubine Wen and Concubine Xi is very prosperous." The second princess began to gossip.

This textile factory produces two products, weaving and finished clothing. There is also a display shop in the capital, which is said to be for people who come to buy goods from other places to see, and they can directly place an order for what they see.

When a textile factory was opened to specifically recruit women for work, it caused quite a stir. Nowadays, there is no ordinary woman in the capital who would not be proud to work in a textile factory.Once those little girls enter the factory, it will be much easier for them to find their husband's family in the future.

"Well, when the empress dowager found out about it, she joined in." After all, the empress came from the Hanlin Academy and was relatively conservative, so she originally disapproved, but she didn't expect the empress dowager to be very supportive.

"My son also thinks it's pretty good, why should she be locked up in the backyard." Zhi'er has always been bright and quick-witted. "Mother, at the beginning, you should be the director of the factory."

"What are you talking about? I am the mother of a country." The queen became serious.

"That's why you should be the mother of a country. This factory has only been in operation for half a year, and it has a very good reputation among the people. Even the old-fashioned people don't say anything." The second princess really felt that the queen mother had made a wrong step.Those who originally opposed it saw their daughter or the mother-in-law returning home with a lot of wages every month, and they couldn't object anymore.

"It's too late for you to say now." Queen Nana said.

"No, Concubine Wen and Concubine Xi are becoming more and more famous among the people." The second princess is really regretful that her mother did not seize the opportunity. She would have known better if she had participated in it. With the name of the princess, she could do it It's not too much to be a deputy director.

Emperor Qinglong didn't expect Ruyi to be able to do this.

"Your Majesty, Sister Wen and I are going to open a second factory. The model will be based on the one in Beijing." Ruyi took the old emperor's hand and started to discuss it.

"I heard that the first one made a lot of money, and many southern businessmen came to the factory specifically to get goods to sell." Emperor Qinglong inquired.Because it was agreed that Ruyi and the others would handle it themselves, Emperor Qinglong really didn't know the specific accounts.

"Not bad. We will pay taxes to the court at the end of this year. Don't worry." Ruyi raised her little head.

"Okay." Emperor Qinglong laughed.

"Don't underestimate us. We can at least pay tens of thousands taels of taxes at the end of the year." Ruyi didn't want to reveal her strength at first, but she couldn't hold it in anymore after the old emperor smiled contemptuously.

"Ten thousand taels? Then didn't you earn at least hundreds of thousands?" Emperor Qinglong couldn't believe this number.

Ruyi murmured in her heart that that was not the case. The clothing materials and ready-made clothes in the factory began to be divided into different grades. For the best materials, the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan were willing to spend huge sums of money.Including custom-made clothes for people, I am too busy to do it, and the queue will be until next year.

As for the ones that are suitable for the common people, they have small profits but quick turnover, which can be considered as making a lot of money.

"I won't tell you how much it is a trade secret." Ruyi kept her mouth shut.

"Then where can we open the second store?" Emperor Qinglong knew it and became interested in opening a second store.I thought it was just a small business, but I didn't expect to make money like this.

"Let's go to the south. On the one hand, it's convenient to get goods from the south. You don't have to go to the capital. Secondly, there are ports for overseas trade and so on." Ruyi said what he had thought about.

"Do you want to eat all the overseas trade?" Emperor Qinglong really admired this woman.

"Well, I've seen the fabrics from overseas, which are much behind ours." Ruyi is not worried about sales, but has something that she doesn't know how to talk about. "Your Majesty, I..."

It was rare for the old emperor to see someone being so hesitant, so he patted her soothingly: "Just tell me, it's okay."

"Building factories in the south is not like building factories in the capital. The nuns can enter the palace at any time to deliver news. I want Concubine Wen to continue to be the director of Jiangnan Textile Factory, and she will be fully responsible." Ruyi closed her eyes and said everything.
